Jon Sterling

I am a doctoral student of Robert
Harper at Carnegie Mellon University studying type theory,
programming languages and semantics. Previously I received a B.A. in
Linguistics from U.C. Berkeley. My other interests include category theory,
topos theory, formalization of mathematics, Assyriology, and ancient
languages and literature.

Research

I study the syntax and semantics of type theory; currently, I am
interested in models and implementation of higher dimensional and modal
dependent type theory. My colleagues and I are developing the
RedPRL
and
redtt
proof assistants for cartesian cubical type theory. Today, I am studying
definitional equivalence, normal forms and type checking for cartesian
cubical type theory and modal dependent type theory.
